Bird Mittens

The right mitt was my first attempt at fair isle one and a half years ago. It sucked. The left mitt, which I just finished yesterday, turned out much better. Even stitches, even tension. I blocked the two together and while the right one improved, the difference between them is still noticeable.

Lumpy right mitten on the left, awesome left mitten on the right. (Guess I wasn’t paying attention when I put them down to photograph!)

Awesome left mitten on the left, lumpy right mitten on the right.

I have a few dresses to finish today and tomorrow I’ll be out and about. Hope you all have a great weekend!

They are beautiful! I agree with other commenters that probably noone will notice. Also, they would “adjust themselves” some once you start wearing them so the difference will lessen with time. And you can always make another right mitten only, now when you have the hang of it 🙂
